Sleep with the Head Lower.

A French physician, having tested his
theory, advocates sleeping with the head
lower than the feet. He slept that way
for four years, and finds that his neck is
nearly two inches larger owing to the
swelling of the thyroid gland. He says
in this way the brain receives more
plentiful blood supply, and is conse-
quently better nourished, while there is
no danger of so much blood passing to
the cerebral structure as to cause con-
gestion. This danger is obviated by the
enlargement of the thyroid gland, which
holds back a certain portion of the blood
in its dilated vessels, and which also acts
as regulator of the cerebral circulation
by exerting pressure upon the carotids,
and thus diminishing their calibre. New

Another Story of Iadwia.

One of the best of the numerous anec-
dotes of the late king of Bavaria is re-
lated by a Munich artist. He was at
work one day on some statuettes which
the king had ordered for a new park
when the royal botanist entered his
atelier and tried to explain to him the
plan of the new grounds. The matter
was somewhat complicated, and the
artist did not quite understand some of
the details, when the botanist suddenly
unbuttoned his coat and showed the
astonished sculptor the whole plan
drawn on his vest. He then explained
that he had just been to see the king
who, to make things perfectly clear had
taken piece of charcoal and painted
the outlines Vt the park on his white
vest, so that you may not forget it, the
king had added, laughing Chicago

The most important lesson to be
learned by the public i'll reference to ty-
phoid fever is that it is filth disease"
not sometimes, not generally, but al
ways. And perhaps the next in impor-
lance is that while the production of the
disease probably requires that the NOR
bitic agent shall be brought into contact
with the alimentary mucous membrane,
as i'll food or drink, it is possible for the
salivary fluids in the mouth and throat
to absorb the poison from the atmosphere
and thus become the medium of its
transmission to the stomach. There is
also third lesson of no less value to us,
viz: That various articles of food, and
especially milk, water and other fluid
food, possess the same property of alb
sorbing the fever poison from the atmos-
phere and thus becoming the vehicles of
its introduction into the system.
My own observations are fully in keep
ing with the view that the absorption of
the poisonous emanatisns by the sail
vary secretions, and by food stored in
pantries and kitchens, but especially the
latter, furnishes the explanation of
nearly all the so-called sporadic" cases
of true typhoid fever occurring in this
city. In a large proportion of cases it
will be discovered on examination that
odorous emanations from kitchen drains,
but more frequently from privy vaults,
are easily perceptible to the senses in the
rooms where food is stored and where it
is being prepared for the table, In most
of the observations l have made on this
subject, it has appeared 20 be the privy
vault rather than the drain that has been
responsible for the evil.-Annals of Hy-
giene.

The Tom of Bolivar.

In the pantheon III Caracas, in the
north edge and overlooking the city, the
remains of Bolivar repose, surrounded
by those of others worthy of such honor.
His mortal part lies under high mar
BILE cenotaph, crowned with his marble
bust fine piece of the sculptor's art.
Bolivar was born in Caracas. He was
rich. He had slaves. He emancipated
fully his bondsmen, risked and lost his
riches, won the independence of five
great states of South America-Vene
zuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and
Peru-and died at last in exile, poor, al
most friendless and was buried in a
shirt borrowed from British merchant
named Cage, the father of the present
British vice consul at Laguayra. Yet,
as general he was superior to any
of our own revolution. and as pa
triot not inferior to Washington. But
he probably lacked in state IN lnship
and so fell a victim to the aspirations of
others and to the turbulent political
movements of his time His whole ex-
ample and his deeds are worthy of the
high admiration and honor of our own
people as well as those of South Amer
ica.-Chicago News.

THE LATEST JOURNALISTIC IDEA
Putting Pictures in the Newspapers-
Difficulties To Be Overcome.

Putting Pictures in the Newspapers-
Difficulties To BE Overcome.
The latest modern idea is illustrated in
start with the first illustrated daily In
the United States; and saw that the
difficulty in the way of success was the
effort to pour the old wine of politics
and the police court into the new picture
bottles. They could not stand it. 1t
took the pencil of Hogarth to make the
rum-shop interesting, and even he could
not make it so to-day. Dogs, prize
fights, police news, are bad enough in
type, but how much worse. spread over
whole pages in a coarse picture! Had
the editors set aside their traditions; had
they been trained to knowledge of the
requirements of the new field; had they
cultivated the picturesque, the emotional,
the romantic, and the social in other;
words, presented the inner" side or sub
jective transfer of life; made bright,
beautiful family paper, that every man
would have wanted to carry home with
him, the story of the first ten years Of
the first illustrated daily paper would
have been different.
The second great difficulty was of a
mechanical character. No good picture
can be produced upon the turtle" that
is the rounded press. If the photographic
stone is ever rounded, so that pictures
can be printed directly from it instead
of the printing press, it will cause a
revolution in the newspaper. 1t would
abolish the compositor, and bring the
artist and scribe into direct relations
with the reader. The London Graphic
and Illustrated News are a prophecy of
what our daily papers may be, if the
photographic stone becomes a we'll
rounded fact.
1t is said that process has been IN
vented, and is now being developed, by
which pictures in color, as well as in
black and white, can be printed without
the Intervention of the stone If this is
true, the day is not distant when we
shall have the beautiful and picturesque
journal, one that will arouse the SYM
pathies, stimulate the imagination, and
satisfy the taste; as yet, they are little
more than sensation mongers, or tails to
some ambitious politicians kite. The
exceptional facts, that is, the crime and
the scandal, will be relegated to corner
and put in small close type; the discov-
cry, its relation to existing circumstances
and conditions, the noble act, the great
piece of work will, it is to be hoped, be

TREES FULL OF FLUTES.

Soudan and Nubia Groves That the Wind
Fills with Melody.
In Nubia and the Soudan groves a
species of acacia are described as exist
ing, whose scientific appellation, as
well as its popular name, is derived
from the peculiar sound emitted by the
branches when swayed by the wind.
The Arabic name is the sofia" OF
pipe, and the specific name of fistula,
also meaning pipe, has been given to it
for the same reason which prompted
the nations to give it its local
designation. The tree is in
tested with insects, whose eggs are de-
posted in the young shoots and ex-
tremities of the branches.
A sort of gall-like excrescence, about
an inch in diameter, is produced at the
base of these shoots. When the larva
has emerged from this indus it leaves a
small circular hole, the action of the
wind in which causes it to pr oduce a
whistling sound, like that produced by
a flute or by blowing any hollow pipe.
When the wind is violent the noise
caused by thousands of these natural
flutes in a grove of accacias is most re-
markable. These natural whistles" oil

Saturated with Morphine.

Nothing exhilarates the mind and the
body like morphine. Liquor thickens
the utterance and stupefies the brain
Morphine, on the contrary, frees tn,
tongue, and makes its accents as dis
tinct as the notes of well played
banjo. 1t makes the brain bright but
insouciant. A veteran morphine taker is
proof against all other stimulants
Whisky and brandy do not intoxicate
him. He defies all drunkenness except
the intoxication produced by the drug.
His muscles gradually become filed with
the poison. Frequently pins and
needles can be thrust into his flesh
without producing pain. When
thoroughly saturated with morphine the
victim either dies or attains an extra
ordinary size. No matter how thin he
may be, he begins to grow fat, and in
some cases is said to die Of suffocation.
The mind is usually shattered in adj
vance of the body.-Phladelphia Press.

few hours bringing it over to the Lon

ports bring goodly showing of vege-
tables and fruits in their changing seas

potatoes, artichokes, French and Eng

chokes, looking like white turnips.
Gooseberries are big and red as crab
apples, while figs, grapes, cherries and
summer berries are not lacking.
But we have no corn. no Lima beans,
no oyster plants, and, alas the peaches
are mainly luxuries in florists windows,

apiece. Save for few choice varieties

The School of the Newspaper.

No sterner school exists than a well
conducted newspaper Office for aspirin
young spirits who wish to air their ideas,
and who believe the public is waiting t.
learn opinion before it makes up its
mind definitely upon a subject. Such
ideas and opinions are usually at vari
ance with those of the editor, and are
set aside, cut remorselessly, or so ridi-
culed as to disgust the ambitious mind
and make it always wonder how paper
can be found to live with such donkey
at its head. But it does live and prosper
and SO does the donkey" it is the
opinion that is sacrificed. This fact
illustrates Coleridge's saying that we
may safely take every mans opinion OF
the value of that which he knows, but
should distrust his opinion as to the
worthlessness of that of which he is not
capable of Judging. June.

A Medallion of the Queen.

Mr.. Boehm, r. A, was summoned re-
Gently by Queen Victoria to Windsor to
take medallion portrait of her majesty
for the new gold, silver and bronze coin
age to be issued during the jubilee
year, 1887. Mr.. Boehm has executed
many effigies of her majesty and other
members of tie royal family. The queen
gave the artist several sittings, which
is an innovation in the matter of design
ing head from which to make a ma
srix for coinage. The features of her
majesty are to be reproduced with mi

majesty impressed on the coin of the
realm hitherto has been the one taken in
1887, the year of her accession to the
throne. Argonaut

The German Hou.ebo,d

The German household moves easily.
No bread is baked at home, and the
washing is sent out. Every member of
the family goes out for daily walk;
and if you ask the distance to a neigh
boring village, nobody knows the answer
in miles. ut is a two hours walk, or a
three hours" you are told.
There is nowhere the noise, the rush,
the stir that one finds in American cities;
things move quietly. There are no far
ing advertisements, no flaming placards,
no signs reaching across the pavement,
no goods obstructing the sidewalk

Care in Sponge Bathing.

Care should be taken, in all operations
OF sponging, washing, and cleansing the
skin, not to expose too great surface OF
the body at once, so as to check the per-
spiration. which might retard recovery
from the disease, or renew the trouble
in some other form. In several varieties
of diarrhoea, dysentery, etc., when the
skin is hard and harsh, the relief to the
sick person from washing with water
and using good deal of soap, is almost
beyond calculation.
In other cases. sponging with tepid
water and soap will be ordered, then
tepid water alone, and afterward prop
erly drying the skin with a soft warm
towel. Sometimes when water alone is
TO be used, little vinegar added to il
makes the sponging more refreshing. OF
course no one would think of using vine
gar at the same time soap is used. Bay
rum is very acceptable, also, to the face
aeck, and hands of sick people, when
used after sponging or bathing. If not
convenient, some common spirits diluted
with water may be substituted. Halls

"Animal Spirits"

The fox terrier is always reader for a
walk than his master, and generally en-
joys himself more thoroughly on the
way. His natural gait is swifter than
mans, and all animals of whom that can
be said have great advantage in the
amount of pleasure which they derive,
or ought to derive from the use of their
limbs. The glory of rapid motion
which we can only begin to realize on
the box-seat of coach, or in the move
ment of skating, must be something
much more intense to the channels or
the white headed eagle. Constantly,
throughout the animal world, we notice
that delight in the use of muscle and
limb which in man scarcely survives his
majority, but which in them lasts ian
into maturity. We are accustomed un-
consciously to recognize their preroga-
tive in this respect when we apply the
phrase animal spirits" to boy who is
full of life and engery, and who enjoys
a run over the hills ON a breezy day. -

call them here. A snake will swallow
the hind leg of the 'tortle, and, of
course, cannot swallow any more. Then
the 'tortle' goes tramping about with the
snake attached to his leg, and using the
snake pretty roughly. The snake can
not let go, for its teeth, which are turned
back or inward, are locked fast. 1t
keeps its hold until the leg becomes so
decomposed that it drops off. That fact
accounts for the great number of lame
'tortles' found in that country. Chicago
